Hi all brand new here. 53 yrs old and been in therapy for 20 years on and off. First sexual assault happened at 5 told me that money comes out of your bum and that he new how to get it out, after he'd finished he gave me a hand full of small change. Suffered various other sexual abuses up to the age of 14. Constant physical, emotional abuse abandonment along with witnessing deaths and violence. Been hospitilized with drug and alcohol issues and been admitted to phychiatric unit have been diagnosed with ptsd with dissociative disorders and substance abuse disorder. The thing that has really been the catalyst for my crippling anxiety shame and guilt is for behaviours and impulses that I didn't seem able to control I felt I was a passenger and not the driver of my own vehicle. Anyway thanks for taking time to read if you do. I look forward to participating here :)
 
I felt I was a passenger and not the driver of my own vehicle.
I, too, was raped at 5 years of age. I, too, have felt that I was a passenger and not the driver of my own vehicle. I have learned - am learning - to give the keys to God (Christ). Or to use the words of the 12 step program, "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood God." or, "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of a "Higher Power" as we understood that "Higher Power" to be."

Welcome. Peace and healing to you.

Hello, Bloke and as has been said, welcome but sorry for the reasons that brought you here. I told no one until I was just over 50 - like you. Mine was not as violent, but it was still a few years of sexual abuse from a neighbor when I was between 5 and 7. Stay with the therapy, it can help. Also, we're here to walk with you on this road.
